Plan for the last Double XP Weekend.

Kinda meant to post this a while ago, so that more people could see it and choose to participate. But whatevs.

One of the things I've wanted to do, but never had the chance, is to start a new character and take him as far as I can on Double XP weekend--specifically, by focusing on Task Forces and such. Well, this is the last chance, so I'd better do it now. Right?

Ah, but what kind of character? And that's when I thought of something else I've never done: put myself in the game. (Had the idea for a while, finally pushed to go for it when I saw someone else--with a much more awesome first name than mine--do the same thing.)



Here I am, in all my glory (such as it is.) For some reason, all my screenshots look horizontally squished, so that this pic doesn't do justice to my physique (best described as "garbage bag filled with mashed potatoes." But in game, it's pretty close. Staff/WP brute, name of Luke Johnson.

So if this sounds like the kind of thing you want to do...well, go ahead. I'll be on Virtue as much as I can over the next four days. Who knows, maybe we could get a dedicated team.

Sounds good - I am going to turn in early tonight - I'm exhausted due to lack of sleep.

I want to make videos for the event but I'm not sure people would watch character leveling.

Not sure how much playing I'll actually get to do because of other committments (work tomorrow, Halloween party Saturday, etc.), but I always said one of my goals in CoX was to get a 50 of every AT.

I'm nowhere close to that having only four 50s (a Scrapper, a Dom, a 'Troller and a Blaster), but starting tonight, I'm going to try to get my highest level Brute (44), Corrupter (34), Tank (32) and Stalker (16) as close as I can to 50 before they take the game away from me.

By the way, are there still WSTs? And if so, what is the WST for this week/end?

Update: I made it! From Thursday to Sunday, got the character from 1 to level 50. Did nothing but trials and TFs, with the exception of the Ghost Falcon mission (and there I just went straight to the objective and clicked it; didn't defeat any enemies.) Used plenty of XP boosts, though.

The rundown:

Thursday, 1 to 26:
2 Death From Below runs
Positron 1 & 2

Friday, 26 to 34:
Synapse
Citadel
Sister Psyche

Saturday, 34 to 46:
Manticore
Numina
Admiral Sutter
Calvin Scott
Penelope Yin
Drowning In Blood
Imperious

Sunday, 46 to 50:
Dr. Quaterfield
Faathim the Kind (hit 50 on the third mission)

Thanks to everyone I teamed with, for making this possible. You guys and gals are awesome.

Gratz! Well done!

I've always wanted to try to do this, but... ah well. RL isn't kind like that to me.


August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.

Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Hey hey! Grats! And glad to help out! I would've stayed around for Faathim. But MAN I was pooped after that Quarterfield Run!
